AI Capital, a Rezolut Company, is seeking a Production Lead – Mobile Medical Coach Fabrication to join our team in Tucson, AZ!
Schedule is Monday - Friday, 8:00AM - 5:00PM | Pay Range: $34.00 - $39.00
Position Summary
AI Capital is seeking an experienced, hands-on Production Lead – Mobile Medical Coach Fabrication to lead daily shop-floor execution and actively participate in the fabrication, refurbishment, and completion of custom mobile medical coaches and trailers.
This is a working lead position—not a desk-management role. The Production Lead is expected to be on the fabrication floor working alongside the team, assigning and coordinating work, solving problems, inspecting workmanship, training employees, and stepping directly into fabrication work when needed to keep projects moving.
Our team transforms commercial vehicles and trailers into fully operational mobile healthcare environments. Each build requires coordination across multiple trades and systems, including 120/240V electrical and shore power, generators, lithium/battery and inverter systems, HVAC, plumbing and water systems, flooring, framing and interior wall systems, cabinetry, finish carpentry, equipment mounting, welding/metal fabrication, structural modifications, IT infrastructure, and medical equipment integration.
The ideal candidate is a well-rounded tradesperson and experienced working lead or foreman who understands custom fabrication and knows how to lead people while still being willing and able to pick up the tools and work alongside them.
Key Responsibilities
Floor Leadership and Team Accountability
- Lead daily fabrication activities across active mobile coach and trailer projects.
- Work directly alongside fabrication employees as a hands-on member of the production team.
- Assign daily work and help establish clear priorities for fabrication personnel.
- Coordinate labor across multiple simultaneous projects based on production needs, employee skill sets, and project deadlines.
- Monitor employee productivity, workmanship, attendance, and completion of assigned tasks.
- Hold team members accountable for quality, safety, productivity, and established fabrication standards.
- Mentor employees and provide hands-on instruction in proper fabrication and installation methods.
- Assist with onboarding and training new fabrication employees.
- Identify skill gaps and communicate staffing, training, tooling, or resource needs to leadership.
- Promote a professional, organized, team-oriented, and safety-focused shop environment.
Hands-On Fabrication
The Production Lead must be comfortable working across multiple trades and assisting wherever needed during a build, including:
- 120/240V AC electrical systems, shore power, generators, battery/lithium systems, inverter/chargers, transfer equipment, electrical panels, lighting, and related systems.
- Plumbing, water systems, sinks, pumps, fixtures, tanks, and associated components.
- HVAC installation and integration.
- Flooring installation, repair, replacement, and finish work.
- Interior framing, wall and panel installation, trim, and finish work.
- Cabinetry, countertops, shelving, fixtures, hardware, and equipment mounting.
- Measuring, cutting, drilling, fastening, assembling, and modifying materials.
- Welding and metal fabrication where applicable.
- Structural modifications and reinforcement.
- Demolition and removal of existing components during refurbishments and retrofits.
- General construction, remodeling, repair, and handyman-type work.
- Secure installation of medical equipment and other onboard components according to project and manufacturer requirements.
- Troubleshooting and repair of existing mobile medical coaches and trailers.
The Production Lead does not need to be a master technician in every trade but must have enough practical, hands-on experience to understand how the systems work together, recognize quality workmanship, identify problems, and help the team develop practical solutions.
Production Coordination
- Coordinate daily workflow and build sequencing across multiple active projects.
- Work with Operations and Project Management to understand project scope, priorities, customer requirements, and target completion dates.
- Translate project drawings, specifications, and requirements into actionable shop-floor work.
- Identify dependencies between trades so work is completed in the proper sequence.
- Monitor production progress and identify potential schedule delays before they affect project completion.
- Communicate material shortages, design conflicts, staffing constraints, technical issues, and other production risks to leadership.
- Help ensure required materials, equipment, tools, and components are available when needed.
- Coordinate with outside vendors or technical resources when required.
- Support increasingly standardized fabrication processes while recognizing that mobile medical units remain highly customized builds.
Quality Control and Delivery Readiness
- Inspect fabrication and installation work throughout the build—not only at final completion.
- Verify work is completed according to drawings, specifications, manufacturer requirements, and established quality standards.
- Ensure components are properly mounted and secured for vehicle movement, vibration, transport, and long-term serviceability.
- Verify electrical, plumbing, HVAC, generator, power, lighting, equipment, and other systems are tested and operational before delivery.
- Identify workmanship issues early and ensure corrections are completed.
- Help reduce rework, punch-list items, and post-delivery service issues.
- Conduct or support final coach walkthroughs and quality inspections.
- Ensure coaches and trailers are clean, complete, operational, and customer-ready before departure.
- Support occasional field troubleshooting, delivery, or customer handoff when needed.
Process Improvement and Shop Organization
- Help develop repeatable fabrication methods and installation standards.
- Identify opportunities to improve workflow, build sequencing, tooling, material organization, and shop efficiency.
- Maintain an organized and safe production environment.
- Help establish consistency across builds without sacrificing required customer customization.
- Support documentation of successful fabrication methods and lessons learned.
- Help develop a production operation capable of supporting increased build volume while maintaining workmanship and quality.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in fabrication, construction, specialty vehicle upfitting, RV manufacturing, commercial vehicle fabrication, custom trailer fabrication, remodeling, industrial maintenance, or a similar multi-trade environment.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience using common fabrication, construction, electrical, and mechanical tools.
- Previous experience serving as a lead, foreman, senior technician, crew lead, or similar hands-on leadership role.
- Broad understanding of multiple trades and how they interact within a finished build.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting ability.
- Ability to read and interpret drawings, layouts, measurements, wiring diagrams, equipment specifications, and production plans.

Work Environment
This is a fully onsite, hands-on fabrication leadership position based at our Tucson fabrication facility. The Production Lead will spend the majority of the workday on the production floor and inside or around mobile medical coaches and trailers. Daily responsibilities may include supervising and coordinating employees, inspecting work, troubleshooting systems, reviewing drawings, moving between active projects, and personally assisting with fabrication.
Work may involve standing, bending, kneeling, climbing, lifting, working in confined spaces, using hand and power tools, and working above or below coach floor level. Because our mobile medical units travel throughout the United States, fabrication quality must account for movement, vibration, durability, securement, accessibility, serviceability, and long-term reliability.
